Surveillance camera at a public pool in Titusville, Fla., captured a scary moment June three when a three-year-old woman fell into the water and almost drowned.
Fortunately, a quick-thinking teenage was able to pull the unconscious lady from the water and supply the CPR that saved her life.
“Never in my mind did I think I’d be in a situation like that where I need to perform CPR on a child,” Breanna Moseley, Eighteen, told WESH-2 News.

Surveillance movie from the Timber Trace apartments in Titusville shows the damsel, whose name is being withheld, playing around the edges of the apartment complex’s pool.
It’s not clear whether she slips or leaps in, but once in the water the doll quickly becomes distressed, frantically flailing her arms and kicking as she attempts to stay above water.
Amazingly, no one else in or nearby the pool notices for almost two minutes, long enough for the child’s figure to slip underneath the water.
“You can see in the pool people are around this youthfull chick and she goes under and they don’t even notice,” Amy Matthews, a spokesperson for the Titusville Police Department, told CBS News six in Orlando.
But the child’s nine-year-old cousin did notice and pulled her unmoving bod from the pool, whereupon Mosely instantaneously began to render very first aid.
“I witnessed that she wasn’t breathing, so very first instinct was to mouth-to-mouth and just give her air,” Moseley told WESH-2 News.
“She was able to cough up some water. Once I eyed she was breathing, I was certainly loosened.”
Paramedics transported the child to a local hospital as a precautionary measure, and Titusville police credited Mosely for helping save the girl’s life.
“Breanna Moseley, Legal, of Titusville, who was poolside and did not know the victim, began CPR on the child, who was lifeless and not breathing.” The department said in a press release.
Local media is reporting that the child’s aunt, Jasmine Johnson, is facing charges of child neglect for permitting the toddler to play by the pool with only Johnson’s 14-year-old daughter and her friend supervising.
The Florida Department of Children and Families is investigating the incident.
